Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Self-Help Support Groups

Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

23.1K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

35.3K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Previous research explored Social Networking Sites (SNS) benefits and risks during COVID-19 lockdown without direct comparisons.
  • Key areas examined include social support, problematic SNS use, and COVID-19 related interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine which specific SNS uses predict increased emotional distress.
  • To analyze the mediating roles of social support and COVID-19 interaction in the relationship between SNS time and emotional distress.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 1,003 participants (75.5% women, mean age 42.33) completed the study.
  • Hierarchical linear regressions were used to assess predictors of emotional distress.
  • Path analysis was employed to investigate mediation effects.

Main Results:

  • Negative social comparison on SNS emerged as the strongest predictor of emotional distress.
  • Interaction about COVID-19 and addictive consequences also positively predicted emotional distress.
  • Time spent on SNS indirectly influenced anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction through COVID-19 interactions and social support.

Conclusions:

  • Comparative SNS use is the most significant predictor of emotional distress.
  • The proposed mediation model was supported, emphasizing the need to evaluate specific SNS behaviors.
  • Understanding nuanced SNS usage patterns is crucial for mental health interventions.
